Not on his own account (I wan agniii nwnre of that perplexing and extraordinary cnnlrmltctjon), but niioum; an if personal i-nnaide m-liona were impos-ible with him. Itichard, begging me, for I bo grualer grnre of the trnnciii'lion, ua he aaid, to Bottle with Coavimiea (a Mr. Skimpoie now jocularly culled him), I counted out tbu money, anil received the tieceamiry acknowledgment.

Ho put the money in his pocket, nutl nhorily said, ' Well, then, 1 wish you a good evening, mia.' ' My friend,' snid Mr. Skimpolo, atniuling wiih hia back to the fire, after getling up Iho akelch when it wna half tinished, ' 1 should like lo ask yon something, without oUencu.'

As our absence had been long enough already to em stranpe down stairs, I returned ut once, unit found Ada aittiug at work by tho lire-aiilo talking to her com in John. Mr. Skimpoie presently appeared, and Itichard shortly after him. 1 was Rullicicntly en-gaped, dining the remainder of Ihe eveninp, ju lakinp my tirat lesson in backgammon from Mr .larudyce, who waa very fmul ol Iho game, and from whom 1 wished of course to learn it an quickly na I could, in order thai I might he ol the very small use of being able lo play when ho hud no belter ndvermiry.

Il w:n pint twelve beforo ho look his fundlo and his radiant luce nut id' the room; and 1 think he nii;lit have kept ua (here, if be hnd seen lit, until daybreak.

' When you come lo think of it, it's the height uf childishness itiynu I mean mo' aaid Mr. .larudyce, ' to regard him for a moment ns n man. Yon can 'l make him responsible. The idea of Harold Skimpoie with designs or plans, or know ledgool consequences! Ha. ha, ha ! ' It waa so delicious lo sen the clouds about his bttght face clearing, and to aee him so heartily pleased, and lo kttow, as it wan imposnhlo not In know, that the source of his plenatne was the pooduess which was lorluretl by condemning, or niiittustiug, or secretly accniing any one, that I saw the tears in Ada's eyes while she echoed his laugh, and felt them in my own. ' Why, what a etui's hend and shoulders I am,' said Mr, Jnrndyee, 'to rrquin reminding nf ill The wlmlo liusineaa hfiowa tho child from beginning to end.

We all promised faithfully; Itichard, with a merry glance at me, touching hia jMickot, as it to remind me that Ibere was no tlnnger of our hnnsgreaaing. As to Skimpoie, said Mr. Jnrndyee, 'a habitable doll's house, with good board, nnd a lew tin people lo get into debt wiih anil borrow money of, would set the hoy up in life.

Wo tlioil'ht ibis very character istic of hia eccentric ucntleneaa i nnd of the dtll'erence between him and those petulant people who make tho weather and tho winds (particularly Ihut unlucky wind which bo had chosen for such a different purpose) ihe stalking-horses uf iheir splenetic nnd gloomy humors. ... L -.1- f.. !.! ul feeling. Any seeming inconsistencies in Mr. Skimpolo, or in Sirs. Jellyby, I could not expect to be able to reconcile; having so little experience or practical know ledge. Neither did 1 try ; tor my thoughts were busy when I waa alone, with Ada and itichard, aud with ihe confidence 1 had seemed lo receive concerning them. My fancy, made a little wild by the wind perhaps, would nut consent to be nil umiulfiidi eiiher, though I would have persuaded it In be so if 1 could. It wan dered back to my godmother's house, and came along tho intervening track, raisins ui shadowy speculation jwhich had sometimes trembled there in the dark, ua to what knowledge Mr. .larndycu hud of my earliest his toryeven na to tho ponaihility nf his being my father though that idle dream was tpitle gone now. It was all gone now, I remembered, getting up from the fire. It was not forme to muse over bygones, but to act wiih a cheerful spirit and a grateful heart. Ho I Haiti to myself, ' Esther, Ksiher, Em her! Duty, my dear ! ' and gavo my little baskot of housekeeping keys such a shake, lint I hey sounded like little bells, and rang mo nopolully to bed. CHAPTER Vtt. THE tillOST'rt WALK. While Esther slcoiis. nnd while Esther wakes, it ia still wet weather down at the place in Lincolnshire. The rain is over lulling- drip, drip, drip by day and by night, upon the broad Hugged terrace pavement, Tho Ghost's Walk. The weather ia so very bait, down in Lincolnshire, that the liveliest imagination can scarcely appreciate its being tine again Not that thero is any superabundant life of imagination nn the spot, tor Sir Leicester is not here, (and truly, oven if ho were, would not do much for it in that particular,) but is in Paris, with my Ludy ; and solitude, with Ii ih dusky wings, sits brooding upon Uhcsnoy Wold. t here may he some notions ol lanny among the lower animals at (,'henney Wold. Tho horses in iho stables and tho long stables in a barren, red brick courtyard, where there is n great bell in a turret, i n clock with a largo luce, which Iho pigeons who live near it, nml who love lo perch upon its shoulders, seem to be always consulting they may contemplate some mental pictures of tine weather, on anions, nnd may he heller artists at them than the grooms, Tho old ronn, so famous for mm-country mil, mining ma imge eye-nuii 10 Hie graieu winnow near his rank, may remember llm fresh leaves that glisten there at other times, and the sceiitt that stream in. and may have a line run wiih Iho hounds, while the hitman helper, clearing out Iho next stall, never stint beyond hia pitchfork ami birch-broom. Tho grey, whose place ia opoxite the door, and who, with an impatient rattle of his halter, pricks his earn and hints Iiis heud so wistfully when it is opened, nnd to whom (ho opener savfl, ' Won grey, ihen, uteatly ! Nouboily wauls you to-thiy ' may know it quite aa well as the man. The whole seemingly mouolonoua and uticom- lauionable half dozen, slabb-d together, may pass the ong wet hours, when iho door is shut, in livelier com munication than is held in ihe servnnta' hull, or at the Detllock Arms ; or may oven beguile the limn by im proving (perhaps corrupting,) the pony in the loose box in the corner. So, the ina-litl' dozing in hia kennel, in the cotirif yard, with his large heud on bin paws, may think tithe hot Hiiimbine, when Ihe shadows of tho si able buildings lire his patience out by changing, and leave him, at one time tit Ihe day, no broader n-logo than the shadow of his own house, where ho sits on end, pant ing nnd growling short, nml much wauling something to worry, besides himself nnd tho chain Sn. now. half-waking and all-winking, ho may recall the house lull ol company, tho coach houses lull id vehicles, Ihe Ntuhlefl full of horses, and the nut buildings full of nt- leiiilants upon horses, uniil hois undecided about ihe present, and comes forth to see bow it is. Then, with ihut impatient shiko of himself, he may growl, in the pint, 'Ham, rain, rain! (Nothing hut ruin, nnd no family here ! ' as he goes in aguiti, nnd lies down with gloomy yawn. So with iho dog in tho kennel buildini.'s ncrosa ihe park, who have their restless (its, and whose doleful ,-oices, when the wind has been veiy ohstinule, have veil mntlo it known in iho bouse, itsell : up stairs, town stairs, and in my lady's chamber. They runv hunt the whole country side, while iho ruin drops nre pattering round their inactivity. So the rabbits, wiih their sell'-belrayiiig tails, frisking in ami out of holes al roots of trees, may ho lively with ideas of Ihe breey tays wtieti their cars nre mown annul, or ol lliose sen- Minn ot interest when there are sweet young plants to gnaw. The turkey in the poultry yard, always troub led Willi a class grievance, (probably Christina) may bo reminiscent of lhat summer morning wroiigfolv taken bom him, when he got into the lane among the lolled liees, where ihero was a barn anil barley. The list onlenlfd goose, who sloops to pna under tho old g iteway, twenty teet high, may gabble out, il wo only knew it, a waddling preference lor weather when ihe gateway casts its shadow on the ground. Ho this as it may, there is not much lunry otherwise Htirriug at (Jhesney Wold. If there ben little at anv odd moment, it goes, like n little noise in lhat old echoing place, n long way, aud usually lends off to ghtul and mystrey.

KNh or I'ART II. Political. iUricti). CONSUMPTION EFFECT OF CLIMATE. For many years past Ihu favnriiu remedy of physt-eiuns in all stages of consumption, has been to recommend a sen voyage, nud a snjoiirn in a warmer climate. The medical professors in England ami Km nro, have usually recifniiientled ihe island id' Maileria, na ihe boat piece ut resort fir the consumptive invalid ; while those of our owu country have suggested to their patients eiiher Florida or Cuba, ns points nf winter residence best adapted to alleviate tho condition of the sutteriTs. S'alislics, recently rollected. appear to contradict the advantages which were at ono time supposed lo bo derived from a migration to n warmer climate, and lo indicate that an atmosphere cool and dry, is in every respect preferable. It js now contended that tuberculous phthisis is n aperies of scrolulu, and th il iho process of putrehicliou which tho deceased lung undergoes, ia hu-tened iu the moist atmosphere of a warm climate, and that the dm-ease is consequently fnr more ir.i- in i,u cumin, than Hi.nli. All bronchial iilli-ctintis nro increased by the damp air of the sen shore, and Ihe statistics of llio United Stales army show thai ihe number id' deaths from consumption, are more than double in such situation to what they nre farther inland. The stilinlirt of the llrilinh tirrny nlso, show similar re.ndia. Not more than half as many soldier ure attacked with consumption in Canada as iu the West Indies ; and this is now becoming so well understood, lhat men invnlided wiih this disease are nent from West Indies to Cuiintla, as tillering ihe bent chance of ih 'ir recovery. hi London two hundred and thirty-six persons out of luoiisami iiioi coiiHiiinpuoii, annually; in Swei ou, northern climate, only sixty-six. In Itiisaia, con- Biimplivo cases nro equally rare, while iu thoie south ern climates which have hecli considered Hie most beneficial to this class of invalids, dealha by comminu tion form the most prominent feature in Hie bill id' mortality. In Italy Iho disease is ns prevalent ns in v ranee; nnd in Madeira, where patients are soIre-lUi-utly sent fur the benelW of their declining health. there is no disease more prevalent among tho natives uio Miami. Il is now prelty generally conceded thnt tho number those who are benefitted by a southern soiouru onld have been equally bene lit led hy remedial agents home ; nml mat ihe chances nre much more in Invor tlmso who travel north for health, than of those who k recovery in the south. Tho dry air of an inland, or mountain region, is also admitted to be preferable to the moist, cool air of the sea coast, or of valleys rendered damp by (lowing streams. The subject js one of great interest lo nil. Hint any fads Hint are eltciied iu relation to it, musl ue- lessnrdy bo worthy of cnrclul consult ration. Consumo- lioit has hitherto been regarded ns incurable. There are those who reproach the skill nl the physic inn thai is so, i nere are even some who helievo It possible ntt'ord iiermnneiit relief, in nil but extreme cases : but ihey have hitherto been looked upon ns empiiics Spenlic remedies, one niter nimther, have been recommended nutl tried, sometimes with partial, hut rarely with complete success.

In Ihe last three yeurs, decreased ihe con sumption of cloth, foreign and domestic, pur bead. tirenly-jive. per cent. We have closed wuolen-mills, and have, in the last three years, diminished llio consumption of cloth, foreign ami domestic, twenty per cent. We have closed mines and furnaces, and have diminished by tilty percent, the production of iron ; and the ion sumption of iron, foreign ami domestic, has tnlteii from ninety-eight to seventy pounds per head. We have closed rolling mills until we have almost annihilated the manufacture of railroad iron, and destroyed the competition for the sale of an nrticle so ne-ceaaary for the cheap transportation to market of our products. We have diminished 1ho export of lend from 800,000 to 300,000 pigs; that of hemp from 60,000 to 19,000 bales; and the products of wool at least ten millions of pounds. The manufacture of corn and hav intonork nnd beef. butler, cheese and lard, declines dailv. nnd thn vmIua of exports from tho west to the east has fallen from rix'y-ttco dollan per Ion in 1H45 to forty dollars per tun in lUM. We havo thus diminished the market for cotton, and have placed ourselves under the necessity for exporting more, the consequence of which is seen in the fad lhat it has fallen even below the price of the revenue tarilTof 1840-2 then 1 lie lowest lhat had ever been known, with a certainty of groat further decline, should the crops prove large. We have diminished the domestic market for food to bo consumed by the growers of wool and hemp, and the producers of cloth nud of iron, coal and lead, mid that diminution cannot bo estimated at less than fifty minions oi uoiiars per annum; ana yet our anility to supply food to tho world declines from year to year, as the manufacture of corn and hay into pork, beef, butter, cheese and lard, declines, ns we become more dependent upon foreign nations for wool and homo, lend cloth nnd iron. Tho import of fish now exceeds the ex nor t. that of rice has fallen in holh nunntitv aud nrice. and that nf naval stores has increased in quantity while it has de-liu ed in amount. We produce less of every thing, and the consump tion of all articles of necessity is gradually declining, providing a sternly deterioration iu the condition of our people. We nro running in debt lo foreign nations fnr articles nf luxury.

Otbpoo, the Washington correspondent of the Cleve land Herald, thus notices tho first speech of Senator Wadu: Senator Wnde made his first Senatorial speech on Monday lost, and against tho granting of additional aid to the Collins' Lino of Ocennic Steamers. His speech attrncted attention be made some very tfrong pointe, and presented them in his own peculiar sty le and man ner, i no telegraphic report ol ins remarks win reach you before this sheet, and il gives me great pleasure to say that Mr. Wade made a moat decided and unusually favorable iuqiressiou upon 'the minds of Senators hy his maiden Senatorial effort. It was perhaps a sectional, rather than a national speech, but he asked some very pertinent and significant questions. Eng land can liirniah us with railroad and other iron cheaper than we can buy it nt home our iron workers cannot compete with Iho low wages ami low interest of money iu England our forges and furnaces are fast ceasing to operate at all, and their fires will nil be extinguished, auiiii, without protection. Hut the free iruders are lor buying where Hioy can buy cheapest. anil so wo go to England lo buy our iron, instead of protecting ttm great iron interest of our own country. Well, then, if we must go to England to buy our iron because she can sell the cheapest, why should we not let England carry our letters, our people and our pro ducts in horsleainers.it alio call carry the eneapal r Why protect a few steamboat men against English competition, nml abandon the interest of tens of thousands tit itfa men. ntui imn workers to the same competition nutl without protection 7 This question of Senator Watte, is a dillicult one lo answer. His allusions lo Western Harbors nnd Rivers, nnd his interrogatories to fteii. Cass hnd point and tub$taec. The General, however, defined bin position, with his usual dutinctneti ue said he would vole lor a Kivi-r and Hnrbor bill, it it was ' a reasonable bill.' nud if the items of this 'reason able bill ' hail been ' examined nnd reported from the War Department,' and lasdy if ihe bill 'does not push the expenditures too far or unreaeonablm ' ibis ii in- ileed lucid aud explicit !" Our convictions have brought ns to a different con clusion on this question. We do not regret lhat Mr. Waok hns exposed iho pretence of men who can vote hundreds of thousands for Mis elate of protection, and will still refuse it, or any portion of protection lo an other and equally meritorious class. There should be well settled and generally recognized principle at the foundation of h1 these ellorls to sustain aud uphold our iwn, and if this wero merely a question between the enemies nnd the trtenda of protection, or between those ppnied or in favor of appropriations fur Western Im provements, then theio would be, in our opinion, a d liferent case from that which is now presented. There nre two pomls of view lhat control our judg ment. 1 ho first is, the proper feeling of pride aa an American citizen, that wu Ihvo beaten the British in this nt well as in nil other "Wrnncliea nf naval skill. The Coi.mnY line is clearly amUaaily superior to any ither line in ihe world. The CoArd steamers fall behind in speed, size, nnd style uf finish. This supe riority is something worth being pr-tud uf. and the prestige of tho thing ia of vast service U as, not only tu Europe, but nil over the globe. We have fnirly beaten (irent Britain, when she thought bsrself in. vincible. We havo demonstrated to the world tbat we are hound tn be supreme in all the arts lhat are worth the tlbrt o( Intellectual freemen. Aud it is in vain to de- . ny that the kuowledgo of this.orm upon ihe mind of Europe by our splendid success in tho line of steam ers, has done, is doing, and will continue to do more to ilevalo ui and our institutions, Ihnn any other expen- liiuro of the same amount of money could produce. We do not slop to argue the question, whether tho old appropriation lo the Collins' Line ought to be sufficient. It may be thnt the owners are deceiving Ihe public. But their books show an absolute lost, and they must close unless some farther remuneration ii mndo to them. These tacts being admitted, we nay, give tho additional sum needed. It is money well ex pended, as a great national benefit. Again, we advocate the system ol advancing money to these Steam Companies on the score of economy. We have a navy, and so long as we are a commercial people we shall continue to havo a largo force tn pro- Klei for emergencies in case of war. The experience of late years demonstrates that a steam marine is the only naval power that is ettecttve. We should build no more seven ty-fours or frigntoa, without steam. France, England nml Russia understand Ibis, and 'heir war and steam marine is vastly ahead of ours. If Iho (ioveriiment builds llieso stenmora ihey are uf! d sim ply as w ar vessels, manned by Government nfhoersnnd marines, and of no service in commerce, or lu Ihe transportation of passengers. Hy a contract wiih these Steam Companies, we give them a certain amount, yenrly, fr carrying Ihe mails ; and we also have llm privilege of taking them, at a moment's warning, and at a fair valuation, in case of war, and of converting them at once into tho first class uf war stenmers. We ihus have avnilable a Inrge tleet, and at a far less annual expense than we could have if llieso vessels were built and manned by Gov. ornmcni. Such nre our convictions. 17 0. 0.

W'e allude to fun ign e migrntion. Tho number oT emigrants reaching our shores fiom Europe mid Asia is estimated nt about tbrly thousand per mouth, consisting of men womeu and children, one-hall of whom nro men ami the rest women and children. In n commercial point of view ns well as in fact, this is an accession to our stock of labor, ami living capital, worth fnr more (ban nil the gold dust iuqvirtcd from Cnliloruin, about, which to much ex- uliation ami excitement nan uecn creutt 11, An uble-bothed man hoi been computed to he worth as nn article of capital or labor, nhout twelve hundred olnrs.

If ibis nveitige be taken na ihe basis of nn estimate. we have nl once an amouut fit value added to the capital stock of Hie country, equal lo twenty font millions of dollars monthly.

My fancy, made a little wild by the wind perhaps, would nut consent to be nil umiulfiidi eiiher, though I would have persuaded it In be so if 1 could. It wan dered back to my godmother's house, and came along tho intervening track, raisins ui shadowy speculation jwhich had sometimes trembled there in the dark, ua to what knowledge Mr. .larndycu hud of my earliest his toryeven na to tho ponaihility nf his being my father though that idle dream was tpitle gone now. It was all gone now, I remembered, getting up from the fire. It was not forme to muse over bygones, but to act wiih a cheerful spirit and a grateful heart. Ho I Haiti to myself, ' Esther, Ksiher, Em her! Duty, my dear ! ' and gavo my little baskot of housekeeping keys such a shake, lint I hey sounded like little bells, and rang mo nopolully to bed. CHAPTER Vtt. THE tillOST'rt WALK. While Esther slcoiis. nnd while Esther wakes, it ia still wet weather down at the place in Lincolnshire. The rain is over lulling- drip, drip, drip by day and by night, upon the broad Hugged terrace pavement, Tho Ghost's Walk. The weather ia so very bait, down in Lincolnshire, that the liveliest imagination can scarcely appreciate its being tine again Not that thero is any superabundant life of imagination nn the spot, tor Sir Leicester is not here, (and truly, oven if ho were, would not do much for it in that particular,) but is in Paris, with my Ludy ; and solitude, with Ii ih dusky wings, sits brooding upon Uhcsnoy Wold. t here may he some notions ol lanny among the lower animals at (,'henney Wold. Tho horses in iho stables and tho long stables in a barren, red brick courtyard, where there is n great bell in a turret, i n clock with a largo luce, which Iho pigeons who live near it, nml who love lo perch upon its shoulders, seem to be always consulting they may contemplate some mental pictures of tine weather, on anions, nnd may he heller artists at them than the grooms, Tho old ronn, so famous for mm-country mil, mining ma imge eye-nuii 10 Hie graieu winnow near his rank, may remember llm fresh leaves that glisten there at other times, and the sceiitt that stream in. and may have a line run wiih Iho hounds, while the hitman helper, clearing out Iho next stall, never stint beyond hia pitchfork ami birch-broom. Tho grey, whose place ia opoxite the door, and who, with an impatient rattle of his halter, pricks his earn and hints Iiis heud so wistfully when it is opened, nnd to whom (ho opener savfl, ' Won grey, ihen, uteatly ! Nouboily wauls you to-thiy ' may know it quite aa well as the man. The whole seemingly mouolonoua and uticom- lauionable half dozen, slabb-d together, may pass the ong wet hours, when iho door is shut, in livelier com munication than is held in ihe servnnta' hull, or at the Detllock Arms ; or may oven beguile the limn by im proving (perhaps corrupting,) the pony in the loose box in the corner. So, the ina-litl' dozing in hia kennel, in the cotirif yard, with his large heud on bin paws, may think tithe hot Hiiimbine, when Ihe shadows of tho si able buildings lire his patience out by changing, and leave him, at one time tit Ihe day, no broader n-logo than the shadow of his own house, where ho sits on end, pant ing nnd growling short, nml much wauling something to worry, besides himself nnd tho chain Sn. now. half-waking and all-winking, ho may recall the house lull ol company, tho coach houses lull id vehicles, Ihe Ntuhlefl full of horses, and the nut buildings full of nt- leiiilants upon horses, uniil hois undecided about ihe present, and comes forth to see bow it is. Then, with ihut impatient shiko of himself, he may growl, in the pint, 'Ham, rain, rain! (Nothing hut ruin, nnd no family here ! ' as he goes in aguiti, nnd lies down with gloomy yawn. So with iho dog in tho kennel buildini.'s ncrosa ihe park, who have their restless (its, and whose doleful ,-oices, when the wind has been veiy ohstinule, have veil mntlo it known in iho bouse, itsell : up stairs, town stairs, and in my lady's chamber. They runv hunt the whole country side, while iho ruin drops nre pattering round their inactivity. So the rabbits, wiih their sell'-belrayiiig tails, frisking in ami out of holes al roots of trees, may ho lively with ideas of Ihe breey tays wtieti their cars nre mown annul, or ol lliose sen- Minn ot interest when there are sweet young plants to gnaw. The turkey in the poultry yard, always troub led Willi a class grievance, (probably Christina) may bo reminiscent of lhat summer morning wroiigfolv taken bom him, when he got into the lane among the lolled liees, where ihero was a barn anil barley. The list onlenlfd goose, who sloops to pna under tho old g iteway, twenty teet high, may gabble out, il wo only knew it, a waddling preference lor weather when ihe gateway casts its shadow on the ground. Ho this as it may, there is not much lunry otherwise Htirriug at (Jhesney Wold. If there ben little at anv odd moment, it goes, like n little noise in lhat old echoing place, n long way, aud usually lends off to ghtul and mystrey. It has rained sn hard nutl rained sn long, down in Lincolnshire, lhat Mis, Itouncowell, Iho old homo- per at Chesney Wold, has several limes taken oil her spectacles nnd cleaned them, to make certain lhat the drops were hut on her classes. Mrs. Itouucewell might have been sutliciontly assured by hearing the rniu, but that alio is rather deaf, which nothing will induce her to believe. She is a line old lady, hind- some, stalely, wonderfully nent, nnd has such a back, ami such n stomacher, that tl her slays should lurii out, when she diet), to have been n broad, oltl fashioned family lire grale, nobody who knows her would have cause to bo surprised. Weather nll'ects Mrs. Itounce- well little. Tho hoiiso is there in all weatheiM, mid the house, ns she expresses il, 1 is what she looks ut.1 She sils in her room, (in n side pnssago on the ground lloor, with an arched window cnmmmidmg a smooth quadrangle, adorned nt regular intervals with sum dh round trees, aud smooth round li'ocks of stone, ns if the trees weie going lo play al bowls with tho stones,) ami the whole house reposes on her mind, She enn open it mi occasion, nnd be busy and llutlered; but it is shut up now, mm lien on iho imnilHi ot nirs. it on rice-well's iron-bound bosom, in n majestic ideep. Il is (lie next ditlii nit thing lo an impossibility to im agine Chesney Wold without Mrs Itouncowell, but she has only been hero til.y years. Ask her how long ibis rniny day, and she shall answer 'filly year, threi months and a fortnight, by the blessing of Heaven, if live till luesdny. Mr. Itouncewell died some limn ' They say am like my father, grand mother.' 4 Like htm, also, my dear, but most like your poor uncle (inorge! And your dear father?' Mrs. Itouncewell folds her hands again. ' Ho is v. ell ? ' 'Thriving, grandmother, in every way.' 'lam thankful!' Mrs. Itouncewell is foud of her son, but has a plaintive feeling Inwards him much us if he were a very lionoiablo soldier, who had gono ovor to ttio enemy. ' He is quite happy 7 ' says she. 'Quite.' ' 1 am thankful ! Ro, he has brought yen up to follow in his ways, ami has sent you to foreign countries andlhelike? Well, he knows best. There may boa world beyond Chesney Wold, thai I don't understand. Though 1 am not young either. And I have seen a quantity nf good company, loo.' , ' firniidinoiher,' says the young man changing il' subject, 'what a very pretty girl that was, Iotuid with you just now. You called her Koaa.'

She is very modest. It is n tine quality tn ti young woman. Ami scarcersays Mrs. Rouncowull, expanding her stomacher ( its utmost, 'than ft formerly was.' The young mnn inclines his head, in acknowledgment nf llio precepts of experience. Mrs. Kotilicewell listens. 'Wheels!' snys she. They had long been audible to the younger ears of her companion. ' What wheels on such a day ua this, for gracious sake ? ' After n short interval, a tap at ihe door. 'Come in!' A dark-eyod, dark-haired, shy, village beauty comes in so fresh in Iks riy anil yet delicate blnoin, lhat the drops of rain, which had beaten on her hair, look like Ihe dew upon a flower fresh gathered. ' What company is this, Knaa?' ays Mrs, Koiince-well.' It's two young men in a gig, ma'am, who want to nee llm house yea, and it you please, I told them so! in quick reply lo a gesture nf tbsnent Irom the hoti-ie keeper.

J his propensity gave Mrs. Itouncewell great iiuonainoFS. She felt it, wiih a mo ther's anguish, to boa move in Iho Wat Tyler direction ; well knowing lhat Sir Leicester had that general impression ol nil aptitude mr any art to which smoke and a mil chimney might bo considered esceniial. Hut the doomed young rebel (otherwise a mild yoiiHi, and very persevering. allowing no sign of grace na he cot older, but, on iho contrary, cmialriicliug the model ol a power-loom, she was lain, with many (ears, to mention his backalidiiigs to Ihe baronet, 'Mrs. Itouncewell,' said Str Leicester, '1 can never consent to argue, ns you know, wiih any one, nn any subject.

KNh or I'ART II. Political. iUricti). CONSUMPTION EFFECT OF CLIMATE. For many years past Ihu favnriiu remedy of physt-eiuns in all stages of consumption, has been to recommend a sen voyage, nud a snjoiirn in a warmer climate. The medical professors in England ami Km nro, have usually recifniiientled ihe island id' Maileria, na ihe boat piece ut resort fir the consumptive invalid ; while those of our owu country have suggested to their patients eiiher Florida or Cuba, ns points nf winter residence best adapted to alleviate tho condition of the sutteriTs. S'alislics, recently rollected. appear to contradict the advantages which were at ono time supposed lo bo derived from a migration to n warmer climate, and lo indicate that an atmosphere cool and dry, is in every respect preferable. It js now contended that tuberculous phthisis is n aperies of scrolulu, and th il iho process of putrehicliou which tho deceased lung undergoes, ia hu-tened iu the moist atmosphere of a warm climate, and that the dm-ease is consequently fnr more ir.i- in i,u cumin, than Hi.nli. All bronchial iilli-ctintis nro increased by the damp air of the sen shore, and Ihe statistics of llio United Stales army show thai ihe number id' deaths from consumption, are more than double in such situation to what they nre farther inland. The stilinlirt of the llrilinh tirrny nlso, show similar re.ndia. Not more than half as many soldier ure attacked with consumption in Canada as iu the West Indies ; and this is now becoming so well understood, lhat men invnlided wiih this disease are nent from West Indies to Cuiintla, as tillering ihe bent chance of ih 'ir recovery. hi London two hundred and thirty-six persons out of luoiisami iiioi coiiHiiinpuoii, annually; in Swei ou, northern climate, only sixty-six. In Itiisaia, con- Biimplivo cases nro equally rare, while iu thoie south ern climates which have hecli considered Hie most beneficial to this class of invalids, dealha by comminu tion form the most prominent feature in Hie bill id' mortality. In Italy Iho disease is ns prevalent ns in v ranee; nnd in Madeira, where patients are soIre-lUi-utly sent fur the benelW of their declining health. there is no disease more prevalent among tho natives uio Miami. Il is now prelty generally conceded thnt tho number those who are benefitted by a southern soiouru onld have been equally bene lit led hy remedial agents home ; nml mat ihe chances nre much more in Invor tlmso who travel north for health, than of those who k recovery in the south. Tho dry air of an inland, or mountain region, is also admitted to be preferable to the moist, cool air of the sea coast, or of valleys rendered damp by (lowing streams. The subject js one of great interest lo nil. Hint any fads Hint are eltciied iu relation to it, musl ue- lessnrdy bo worthy of cnrclul consult ration. Consumo- lioit has hitherto been regarded ns incurable. There are those who reproach the skill nl the physic inn thai is so, i nere are even some who helievo It possible ntt'ord iiermnneiit relief, in nil but extreme cases : but ihey have hitherto been looked upon ns empiiics Spenlic remedies, one niter nimther, have been recommended nutl tried, sometimes with partial, hut rarely with complete success.

In Ihe last three yeurs, decreased ihe con sumption of cloth, foreign and domestic, pur bead. tirenly-jive. per cent. We have closed wuolen-mills, and have, in the last three years, diminished llio consumption of cloth, foreign ami domestic, twenty per cent. We have closed mines and furnaces, and have diminished by tilty percent, the production of iron ; and the ion sumption of iron, foreign ami domestic, has tnlteii from ninety-eight to seventy pounds per head. We have closed rolling mills until we have almost annihilated the manufacture of railroad iron, and destroyed the competition for the sale of an nrticle so ne-ceaaary for the cheap transportation to market of our products. We have diminished 1ho export of lend from 800,000 to 300,000 pigs; that of hemp from 60,000 to 19,000 bales; and the products of wool at least ten millions of pounds. The manufacture of corn and hav intonork nnd beef. butler, cheese and lard, declines dailv. nnd thn vmIua of exports from tho west to the east has fallen from rix'y-ttco dollan per Ion in 1H45 to forty dollars per tun in lUM. We havo thus diminished the market for cotton, and have placed ourselves under the necessity for exporting more, the consequence of which is seen in the fad lhat it has fallen even below the price of the revenue tarilTof 1840-2 then 1 lie lowest lhat had ever been known, with a certainty of groat further decline, should the crops prove large. We have diminished the domestic market for food to bo consumed by the growers of wool and hemp, and the producers of cloth nud of iron, coal and lead, mid that diminution cannot bo estimated at less than fifty minions oi uoiiars per annum; ana yet our anility to supply food to tho world declines from year to year, as the manufacture of corn and hay into pork, beef, butter, cheese and lard, declines, ns we become more dependent upon foreign nations for wool and homo, lend cloth nnd iron. Tho import of fish now exceeds the ex nor t. that of rice has fallen in holh nunntitv aud nrice. and that nf naval stores has increased in quantity while it has de-liu ed in amount.

Eng land can liirniah us with railroad and other iron cheaper than we can buy it nt home our iron workers cannot compete with Iho low wages ami low interest of money iu England our forges and furnaces are fast ceasing to operate at all, and their fires will nil be extinguished, auiiii, without protection. Hut the free iruders are lor buying where Hioy can buy cheapest. anil so wo go to England lo buy our iron, instead of protecting ttm great iron interest of our own country. Well, then, if we must go to England to buy our iron because she can sell the cheapest, why should we not let England carry our letters, our people and our pro ducts in horsleainers.it alio call carry the eneapal r Why protect a few steamboat men against English competition, nml abandon the interest of tens of thousands tit itfa men. ntui imn workers to the same competition nutl without protection 7 This question of Senator Watte, is a dillicult one lo answer. His allusions lo Western Harbors nnd Rivers, nnd his interrogatories to fteii. Cass hnd point and tub$taec. The General, however, defined bin position, with his usual dutinctneti ue said he would vole lor a Kivi-r and Hnrbor bill, it it was ' a reasonable bill.' nud if the items of this 'reason able bill ' hail been ' examined nnd reported from the War Department,' and lasdy if ihe bill 'does not push the expenditures too far or unreaeonablm ' ibis ii in- ileed lucid aud explicit !" Our convictions have brought ns to a different con clusion on this question. We do not regret lhat Mr. Waok hns exposed iho pretence of men who can vote hundreds of thousands for Mis elate of protection, and will still refuse it, or any portion of protection lo an other and equally meritorious class. There should be well settled and generally recognized principle at the foundation of h1 these ellorls to sustain aud uphold our iwn, and if this wero merely a question between the enemies nnd the trtenda of protection, or between those ppnied or in favor of appropriations fur Western Im provements, then theio would be, in our opinion, a d liferent case from that which is now presented. There nre two pomls of view lhat control our judg ment. 1 ho first is, the proper feeling of pride aa an American citizen, that wu Ihvo beaten the British in this nt well as in nil other "Wrnncliea nf naval skill. The Coi.mnY line is clearly amUaaily superior to any ither line in ihe world. The CoArd steamers fall behind in speed, size, nnd style uf finish. This supe riority is something worth being pr-tud uf. and the prestige of tho thing ia of vast service U as, not only tu Europe, but nil over the globe. We have fnirly beaten (irent Britain, when she thought bsrself in. vincible. We havo demonstrated to the world tbat we are hound tn be supreme in all the arts lhat are worth the tlbrt o( Intellectual freemen. Aud it is in vain to de- . ny that the kuowledgo of this.orm upon ihe mind of Europe by our splendid success in tho line of steam ers, has done, is doing, and will continue to do more to ilevalo ui and our institutions, Ihnn any other expen- liiuro of the same amount of money could produce. We do not slop to argue the question, whether tho old appropriation lo the Collins' Line ought to be sufficient. It may be thnt the owners are deceiving Ihe public. But their books show an absolute lost, and they must close unless some farther remuneration ii mndo to them. These tacts being admitted, we nay, give tho additional sum needed. It is money well ex pended, as a great national benefit. Again, we advocate the system ol advancing money to these Steam Companies on the score of economy. We have a navy, and so long as we are a commercial people we shall continue to havo a largo force tn pro- Klei for emergencies in case of war. The experience of late years demonstrates that a steam marine is the only naval power that is ettecttve. We should build no more seven ty-fours or frigntoa, without steam. France, England nml Russia understand Ibis, and 'heir war and steam marine is vastly ahead of ours. If Iho (ioveriiment builds llieso stenmora ihey are uf! d sim ply as w ar vessels, manned by Government nfhoersnnd marines, and of no service in commerce, or lu Ihe transportation of passengers. Hy a contract wiih these Steam Companies, we give them a certain amount, yenrly, fr carrying Ihe mails ; and we also have llm privilege of taking them, at a moment's warning, and at a fair valuation, in case of war, and of converting them at once into tho first class uf war stenmers. We ihus have avnilable a Inrge tleet, and at a far less annual expense than we could have if llieso vessels were built and manned by Gov. ornmcni. Such nre our convictions. 17 0. 0.
